Description
RETAIL RAZOR DISPLAY PACKAGE IIITH RAZOR STAND
The present invention is directed to shaving accessories and, more particularly, to a retail razor display package in combination with a razor stand.
BACRGROtTND
Razors have been sold in retail outlets with different types of packaging. One type of packaging comprises a display card bearing advertising and other product information. A razor is.
typically affixed to such a display card with a blister pack, i.e., a molded plastic covering, which interlocks with the display card or which is attached to the display card by some connectors, e.g., stagles. Blister packs advantageously hold the product in a desired location on. the display card while permitting potential consumers to see the product and read the display card. .After purchasing, typically the blister "pack and the display card are discarded. While the display card will typically biodegrade, the blister pack requires separate recycling steps if the plastic is to be reused.
Many forms of packaging for razors do not provide protection.for the blades when the razor is not in use. This can result in damage and a significantly shortened useful life of a razor head. As used herein, the term "razor head" is meant to include cartridges adapted to be connected to a separate razor as well as the operative cutting portion of a disposable razor wherein the handle and cutting portion are formed as a unit.
It would, therefore, be desirable to provide an aesthetically attractive retail razor package which eliminates the need for a blister pack while retaining the ability for the consumer to view the razor and printed indicia prior to purchasing.
It would also be desirable to provide additional protection for the sharpened blades of a razor head when the razor is not in use in order to maximize the useful life of the razor head.
SZJI~dARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Various aspects of the present invention comprise a retail razor display package in combination with a razor stand.
FIGS. 1 through 7 illustrate one preferred embodiment of the present invention comprising a display card 10, a razor stand 50 anal a razor 90. As best shown in FIG. 2, the illustrated razor comprises a razor head 91 and an elongated handle 93 terminating in a bulbous end 95 opposite the razor head 91. Suitable high friction materials may be adhered to the razor handle or the handle can be formed with surfaces which enhance gripping when the razor is wet, in'a manner known in the art. The particular shape of the razor can vary significantly while still being used with the present invention.
The illustrated razor stand comprises an elongated portion 53, a support leg 54, a razor head shield 51 and a pair of support arms 55, 57. The support arms 55 and 57 are advantageously spaced in order to receive a portion of the razor handle 93 while supporting the razor 90 in the stand 50. In the illustrated embodiment, the spacing between support arms 55 and 57 is less than the maximum width of the bulbous terminal end 95 of the razor and wider than a narrow portion of the razor handle 93. This spacing of the support arms permits the razor to be positioned between the support arms in a manner which provides vertical support in the illustrated orientation. According to this preferred embodiment of the present invention, razor head 91 is shielded from accidental contact with other objects when the razor is positioned in the stand by shield portion 51 of the stand. From the present description and the drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the shield 51 is designed to enhance the useful life of the razor head by avoiding accidental contact between objects and the sharpened blade edges. FIGS. 5 and 6 are side views and top views of the illustrated razor stand 50. While the razor stands of the present invention can be formed of various materials, it is preferred to form the razor stands using a clear polymeric material, such as a relatively high-impact plastic by injection molding.
In order to facilitate the attachment of razor stand 50 to a display card, the terminal ends of the support arms are provided with lugs. In the illustrated embodiment, lug 56 is integrally formed with support arm 55 while lug 58 in integrally formed with support arm 57.
The illustrated razor stand 50 is fastened to display card 10 by first inserting lugs 56 and 58 through lower receptacle 16. Shield portion 51 of the stand and razor head 91 are then passed through upper receptacle 17 of display card 10 as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Flap 11 is then folded along fold line 12 to a position overlapping a portion of the body 14 of the display card thereby aligning apertures 18 and 19 to form a single hanging slot in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. Folding flap 11 is preferably adhered to the back of the razor stand with a removable adhesive.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the retail razor display package shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 9 is a bottom view of the retail razor display package shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a side view of the razor stand.
FIG. 6 is a side view of the razor stand.
FIG. 7 is a top view of a display card of the present invention.
